Lola Olokodana

SPEECH & LANGUAGE THERAPY ASSISTANT / NEURO REHAB ASSISTANT

Lola is studying for an MSc in Speech and Language Therapy at the University of Essex and is due to graduate in 2023.

 Following achieving a degree in English Language and Literature, Lola worked in charity fundraising, most recently at a cancer charity. Lola also fundraised at an organization that works to help those living with complex disabilities and deafblindness to communicate and experience the world. It was while at that organization that she learned about, and developed an interest in communication as a human right.

She was inspired to begin a career in Speech and Language Therapy and learn from, and work alongside the many others who are expanding and deepening access to communication. She is especially interested in those who are marginalized by our society in multiple ways.
